Ok, sorry JCell I couldnt help earlier (I was helping Kooldino to tare his engine apart, hehe, just got home) As you took pictures...there's that long pivot bolt as I said before. Its also being held by the small bolt (perpendicular one in the 2nd picture) you have to losen that bolt and then pivot bolt will be able to move the alternator and the A/C pump. Let me know how it goes.

Isn't there smaller belts that you can get for the kit...

i had to get new belts because the ur pulley is smaller than the stock pulley, UR doesn't sell the belts with the pulley

Yes Dis, i did use the gates belts, as for the improvements, can't say i feel a boost in power, but it revs up and idles down quicker, and the engine feels overall smoother

the easiest part of the install was taking the old pulley bolt off, it took me like 2 seconds, with a torque wrench set at 150 and a 13/16 impact soket....but it took us 3 hours to just get the old belts off, just couldn't figure it out (stooges)
